Travis Kelce is diving into the world of game shows with the upcoming Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? that is set to premiere on Prime Video. Kelce will host all 20 episodes of this new series and has already sparked excitement among fans by dropping the trailer.
The show is a spinoff of the popular Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and flips the script by featuring celebrities instead of kids helping contestants answer questions derived from elementary school curriculums.
The format is straightforward and engaging as each contestant pairs up with a celebrity to tackle 11 questions, aiming to win a grand prize of $100,000. The twist comes for the contestants because they can "cheat" by consulting their celebrity partners, especially for the final, crucial question worth the entire prize.
Set to make its debut with three episodes on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, the series promises weekly entertainment with new episodes dropping every following Wednesday. Viewers can catch all the action and humor on Prime Video, accessible to Amazon Prime members globally.
When will Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? release?
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? will kick off with its premiere on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. The debut will feature three episodes to get viewers hooked, followed by a weekly rollout of additional episodes every Wednesday. The consistent schedule allows fans to look forward to a midweek boost of fun and games with host Travis Kelce and a classroom full of celebrities.
For those eager to watch, the series will be available exclusively on Prime Video. Access to the show requires an Amazon Prime membership which is priced at $14.99 per month or $139 annually. The membership grants access to Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? along with a vast library of movies, TV shows, and exclusive content, making it a comprehensive entertainment hub.
What is Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? about?
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end and three-time Super Bowl champion will take the television spotlight as the host of the new game show which will do a 20-episode run for the first season.
The premise of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? spins off the nostalgic feel of the beloved Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? by replacing kids with celebrities who assist the contestants. Each episode will introduce an adult contestant who is teamed up with a classroom full of celebrities from diverse backgrounds including sports, comedy, and film.
Together, they will face a series of 11 questions that are derived from elementary school subjects. The ultimate goal for contestants is to win a $100,000 prize by navigating through these questions with the help of their celebrity classmates.
A unique aspect of this show is the level of interaction between the contestants and their celebrity helpers. Contestants can 'cheat' by consulting the celebrities during the game.
When they reach the final question, which determines if they win the grand prize, the contestant chooses one celebrity to collaborate with on the answer before making their final decision. The series promises to test knowledge and to entertain with the banter and unexpected responses from the celebrity participants.
Set to premiere with three initial episodes on October 16, 2024, the show will continue to release new episodes every Wednesday on Amazon Prime Video.
